The blurb

Wrestling fleas. Fighting dogs. Welcome to Dogland.

The quiet suburb of Grandview has another name. The dogs know it as Dogland. Strongdog, Rock, Crackers and Cakehole share a hidden life with hundreds of other canine warriors — a life their owners know nothing about. They secretly control the streets with their own set of rules.

But there’s something controlling them. And it’s pushing Dogland to the brink of war.

My thoughts

Cakehole

Dog Wars is about a war that breaks out amongst the dogs in a normal, suburban neighbourhood. Things get out of hand thanks to a mischievous and manipulative little flea who’s controlling the strongest dogs.

What the critics are saying

Dog Wars is a brilliant invention. It has the makings of a cult classic. It’s entertaining, clever and action packed.” Mike Shuttleworth, Centre for Youth Literature
